A N N A L E S Z O O L O G I C I (Warszawa), 2007, 57(3): 385-394 NOMENCLATURAL NOTES ON TENEBRIONID BEETLES OF THE PALAEARCTIC REGION (INSECTA: COLEOPTERA) P. BOUCHARD1, I. LÖBL2 and O. MERKL3 1 Canadian National Collection of Insects, Arachnids and Nematodes, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, 960 Carling Avenue, Ottawa, ON, K1A 0C6, Canada; e-mail: [email protected] 2 Muséum d'histoire naturelle, Case Postale 6434, CH-1211, Geneva, Switzerland; e-mail: [email protected] 3 Department of Zoology, Hungarian Natural History Museum, H-1088 Budapest, Baross utca 13, Hungary; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract.— This paper deals with nomenclatural problems in family-group and genusgroup names in Palaearctic Tenebrionidae. Triboliini, Amarygmini and Mycetocharina were first made available in Faunula monacensis cantharologica (Gistel, 1848). Neopachypterina nomen novum is proposed as a replacement name for Pachypterina Medvedev, 1968 which is based on a junior homonym. The type genus of this subtribe is Neopachypterus nomen novum (replacement name for Pachypterus Lucas, 1846, not Swainson, 1839: Pisces). The available name Imatismus Dejean, 1834 is given priority over Himatismus Erichson, 1843 and Curimosphena Gebien, 1920. A list of new combinations for Imatismus is given. References are given to preserve the usage of Erodiini Bilberg, 1820, Epitragini Blanchard, 1845, Adesmiini Lacordaire, 1859, Metaclisa Jacquelin du Val, 1861 and Pachyscelis Solier, 1836 which are threatened by recently discovered older names. ± Key words.— Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae, darkling beetles, nomenclature, family-group names, genus-group names. INTRODUCTION During the preparation of the Tenebrionidae section of the upcoming Catalogue of Palaeartic Coleoptera (Volume 5 – Tenebrionoidea), we have encountered nomenclatural problems in need of immediate attention. Some of these require applications to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature; these will be dealt with accordingly. In this paper we first deal with nomenclatural notes that supplement the recent treatment of family-group names in Tenebrionidae (Bouchard et al. 2005). The second part deals with three problems with genus- group names that result in several new combinations in one case and use of Article 23.9 (Reversal of Precedence) of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN 1999) to preserve a name in “prevailing usage” in the others. FAMILY-GROUP NAMES Change of author/year of publication The following three family-group names published in Gistel’s Faunula monacensis cantharologica 386 P. BOUCHARD, I. LÖBL and O. MERKL predate names currently used as valid. The author and/or date of publication need to be changed as follows. Triboliini Gistel, 1848 (previously attributed to Mulsant, 1854). Triboliidae Gistel, 1848a: [2]. Type genus: Tribolium MacLeay, 1825: 47. Amarygmini Gistel, 1848 (previously attributed to Gistel, 1856). Amarygmiidae Gistel, 1848b: [2]. Type genus: Amarygmus Dalman, 1823: 60. Mycetocharina Gistel, 1848 (previously attributed to Mulsant, 1856/Gistel, 1856). Mycetocharisidae Gistel, 1848b: [2]. Type genus Mycetochara Berthold, 1827: 371 (as Mycetochares Latreille, 1829). Replacement names The subtribe Pachypterina Medvedev, 1968, of the tribe Opatrini Brullé, 1832, is permanently invalid and therefore can no longer be used as valid because the type genus Pachypterus Lucas, 1846 is a junior homonym. We hereby propose the following replacement names: Neopachypterina nomen novum. Comment: replacement name for Pachypterina Medvedev, 1968. Type genus: Neopachypterus nomen novum (replacement name for Pachypterus Lucas, 1846, not Swainson, 1839: Pisces). Preservation of names in prevailing usage Three family-group names currently used as valid are threatened by recently discovered older names. Because the older names were not used as valid after 1899 to our knowledge, we present supporting references to preserve the currently accepted names following the requirements of Article 23.9 (see Appendices 1–3). Erodiini Billberg, 1820 nomen protectum Erodiides Billberg, 1820: 32. Comment: name made available under Art. 11.7.2. Type genus: Erodius Fabricius, 1775: 258. Cephacerini Rafinesque, 1815 nomen oblitum Cephaceria Rafinesque, 1815: 113. Type genus: Cephacerus Rafinesque, 1815: 113 (unjustified emendation of Erodius Fabricius, 1775). Epitragini Blanchard, 1845 nomen protectum Épitragites Blanchard, 1845: 16. Comment: name made available under Art. 11.7.2. Type genus: Epitragus Latreille, 1802: 165. Lygophilini Rafinesque, 1815 nomen oblitum Lygophilia Rafinesque, 1815: 113. Type genus: Lygophilus Rafinesque, 1815: 114 (unjustified emendation of Epitragus Latreille, 1802). Adesmiini Lacordaire, 1859 nomen protectum Adesmiides Lacordaire, 1859: 22. Comment: name made available under Art. 11.7.2. Type genus: Adesmia Fischer von Waldheim, 1822: 153. Megageniini Solier, 1851 nomen oblitum Megagenianos Solier, 1851: 124. Comment: name made available under Art. 11.7.2. Type genus: Megagenius Solier, 1835: 513. GENUS-GROUP NAMES Imatismus Dejean – Himatismus Erichson – Curimosphena Gebien Imatismus was established by Dejean, 1834: 202 who included only one valid species, [Helops] fasciculatus Fabricius, 1798. This species is the type of the genus by monotypy. Curimosphena Gebien, 1920 is currently considered a valid subgenus of Himatismus Erichson, 1843, and includes Helops fasciculatus Fabricius, 1798. The following nomenclatorial changes result from these facts: Curimosphena Gebien is a junior synonym with Imatismus Dejean; Himatismus Erichson is downgraded to subgenus of Imatismus Dejean, and the taxa previously placed in Himatismus Erichson, 1843 are transferred to Imatismus Dejean. Imatismus includes the following valid species-group taxa: genus Imatismus Dejean, 1834: 202 type species Helops fasciculatus Fabricius, 1798 subgenus Imatismus Dejean, 1834: 202 type species Helops fasciculatus Fabricius, 1798 =Curimosphena Gebien, 1920: 43 type species Himatismus villosus Haag-Rutenberg, 1870, syn. nov. abyssinicus (Koch, 1950) comb. nov. from Himatismus angolanus (Koch, 1950) comb. nov. from Himatismus arabicus (Kaszab, 1981) comb. nov. from Himatismus barnardi (Koch, 1950) comb. nov. from Himatismus basilewskyi (Koch, 1950) comb. nov. from Himatismus baudii (Haag-Rutenberg, 1877) comb. nov. from Himatismus NOMENCLATURE OF PALAEARCTIC TENEBRIONIDAE brevicornis (Koch, 1962) comb. nov. from Himatismus buprestoides buprestoides (Gerstaecker, 1854) comb. nov. from Himatismus buprestoides cylindricollis (Koch, 1950) comb. nov. from Himatismus buprestoides strangulatus (Koch, 1950) comb. nov. from Himatismus chinensis (Reitter, 1916) comb. nov. from Himatismus congolanus (Koch, 1950) comb. nov. from Himatismus dahomeyus (Koch, 1950) comb. nov. from Himatismus dubia (Haag-Rutenberg, 1870) comb. nov. from Himatismus epitragoides (Haag-Rutenberg, 1870) comb. nov. from Himatismus eclavata (Lesne, 1920) comb. nov. from Himatismus fasciculatus (Fabricius, 1798) ferreirai (Koch, 1952) comb. nov. from Himatismus gedyei (Koch, 1950) comb. nov. from Himatismus gomesi (Koch, 1950) comb. nov. from Himatismus haroldi (Haag-Rutenberg, 1878) comb. nov. from Himatismus heterophthalmus heterophthalmus (Chatanay, 1914) comb. nov. from Himatismus heterophthalmus transbechuanus (Koch, 1950) comb. nov. from Himatismus incisa (Gebien, 1937) comb. nov. from Curimosphena inconspecta (Haag-Rutenberg, 1877) comb. nov. from Himatismus justi (Fairmaire, 1880) comb. nov. from Himatismus lindneri (Kolbe, 1883) comb. nov. from Himatismus luctuosus (Fairmaire, 1895) comb. nov. from Himatismus ludwigi (Carl, 1993) comb. nov. from Himatismus maculisparsa (Lesne, 1920) comb. nov. from Himatismus marginatus (Koch, 1950) comb. nov. from Himatismus muelleri (Haag-Rutenberg, 1877) comb. nov. from Himatismus natalensis natalensis (Baudi, 1875) comb. nov. from Himatismus natalensis pinheyi (Koch, 1850) comb. nov. from Himatismus nigrosulcata (Quedenfeld, 1885) comb. nov. from Himatismus occidentalis (Lacordaire, 1876) comb. nov. from Himatismus ovipennis (Koch, 1950) comb. nov. from Himatismus 387 patruelis capensis (Koch, 1950) comb. nov. from Himatismus patruelis patruelis (Bertolini, 1849) comb. nov. from Himatismus pavesi (Gestro, 1892) comb. nov. from Himatismus planicollis (Kolbe, 1883) comb. nov. from Himatismus plebeja (Fåhraeus, 1870) comb. nov. from Himatismus recticollis (Koch, 1950) comb. nov. from Himatismus rileyi (Koch, 1953) comb. nov. from Himatismus rhodesianus (Koch, 1950) comb. nov. from Himatismus schoutedeni (Koch, 1950) comb. nov. from Himatismus scorteccii (Koch, 1962) comb. nov. from Himatismus semialatus (Koch, 1950) comb. nov. from Himatismus seriata (Gebien, 1937) comb. nov. from Curimosphena senegalensis ennediansis (Español, 1973) comb. nov. from Himatismus senegalensis senegalensis (Haag-Rutenberg, 1870) comb. nov. from Himatismus somalicus (Koch, 1950) comb. nov. from Himatismus siffointei (Ardoin, 1974) comb. nov. from Himatismus sublinearis (Walker, 1871) comb. nov. from Himatismus terryi coniops (Koch, 1950) comb. nov. from Himatismus terryi swazinus (Koch, 1950) comb. nov. from Himatismus terryi terryi (Koch, 1950) comb. nov. from Himatismus tessulatus (Gerstæcker, 1854) comb. nov. from Himatismus transvaalensis rotundophthalmus (Koch, 1950) comb. nov. from Himatismus transvaalensis transvaalensis (Koch, 1950) comb. nov. from Himatismus trivialis septentrionalis (Lesne, 1922) comb. nov. from Himatismus trivialis trivialis (Gerstæcker, 1871) comb. nov. from Himatismus trochanterica (Fairmaire, 1897) comb. nov. from Himatismus vaneyeni (Ardoin, 1974) comb. nov. from Himatismus vansoni karrooensis (Koch, 1950) comb. nov. from Himatismus vansoni vansoni (Koch, 1950) comb. nov. from Himatismus 388 P.

Amarantha Faust, 1875 is currently considered a junior synonym of Metaclisa Jacquelin du Val, 1861. However, Motschulsky (1860: 141) clearly made the name Amarantha available earlier by describing his new species Amarantha viridis. The name Amarantha Motschulsky, 1859 has not been used as valid in the literature to our knowledge and we therefore present supporting references to preserve the younger genus name Metaclisa Jacquelin du Val, 1861 which is currently used as valid (Appendix 4). Brachyscelis Dejean – Pachyscelis Solier Dejean (1834: 179) made the genus name Brachyscelis available by including three available species (Pimelia metopotapha Ménétriés, 1832, P. clavaria Ménetriés, 1832 and P. mussiva Ménétriés, 1832). We hereby designate Pimelia mussiva Ménétriés, 1832 as the type species of this genus. The three species included in Brachyscelis by Dejean are currently placed in Pachyscelis Solier, 1836. The older name Brachyscelis Dejean threatens the stability of the well-established name Pachyscelis Solier. In addition, the genus name Brachyscelis Germar, 1834 is currently used as valid in the family Chrysomelidae, giving even more reason to suppress Dejean’s name. The name Brachyscelis Dejean, 1834 has not been used as valid in the literature to our knowledge and we ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We thank M. Schmitt (Zoologisches Forschungsmuseum Alexander Koenig) for his comments on the usage of Brachyscelis Germar in Chrysomelidae. We also thank Y. Bousquet and A.
